~
Darkness, know your place
~
It ought to be you in the corner trembling,
Not I
It ought to be you grabbed with fear,
Not I
It ought to be you put to flight,
Not I
~
For too long the roles have been reversed
I was like the proverbial man on the ship
Eating crackers in the cabin
When there were fully paid meals aboard
~
I was not using my benefits
Or exercising my rights
But this time around, I’m ready to fight
~
So darkness, know your place
It is I, not you
That will win this race
